MeRIP, RIP and RNA Sequencing of the H1299 stable cell lines which the endogenous YTHDF2 was silenced by a short hairpin RNA targeting YTHDF2 3’UTR (shYTHDF2) and then re-expressed Flag-tagged YTHDF2-WT orYTHDF2-K571R

SUMOylation affects many aspects of target proteins such as activity, stability, localization and protein-protein interactions. We have found that SUMOylation of YTHDF2 increased its binding activity with m6A-RNAs by using different experimental approaches. To confiremd this conclusion,the analysis of RIP-seq, MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq in H1299-shYTHDF2 cells re-expressing YTHDF2-WT and YTHDF2-K571R was performed. MeRIP+RIP targets showed lower binding affinities in the mutant YTHDF2-K571R when compared with YTHDF2-WT. Compared to the control group, the binding capacities of YTHDF2 to RIP targets in treated group with either 2-D08 or GA were decreased, especially to MeRIP+RIP targets. Moreover, SUMOylated YTHDF2 promoted m6A-RNAs degradation. Combined analysis of RNA-seq, RIP-seq and MeRIP-seq showed that the mRNA levels were up-regulated in shYTHDF2 stable cells re-expressing YTHDF2-K571R compared with those in re-expressing YTHDF2-WT.
